Briana Wilson

I'm Briana. I blog about faith, family life, marriage, motherhood, homemaking and gardening, teaching, and doing life well in the midst of trials and loss. I’m a home DIYer, a home chef, a passionate adoption advocate, a type A list maker, a craft coffee enthusiast, and I come highly experienced in grieving. I experienced six miscarriages and lost my five-month-old to a congenital heart defect. I am the wife of a school principal, mom to a preteen daughter, and a middle school English teacher, so I spend my days reading with wonderful angsty young people, trying to help them discover who they are and who they can become.

It was a Friday evening, and I stood rummaging through my overflowing closet of clothes, looking for a fall-but-not-too-fall outfit for a harvest festival my husband and I would be attending on Saturday, a tradition that ushers in autumn.
